Freebirds

Those of you in Austin (hmm ok so the one person who reads this might be in Austin) will probably have heard of Freebirds. They are one of the measures for lunchtime overstuffed burritos. They make have more options and the environment inside their restaurants is much warmer than Chipotle. While I was in the Boston area working for the past 9 months or so apparently someone finally pulled their heads outa the sand and opened a new Freebirds just down the street from my office. Makes life much better when there is a close by lunch place that isn't Taco Deli, Mangia or the Cafe (ok so if you know anything about Austin, there are a ton of other close by restaurants near IBM on Burnet, but I wanted something fast and good and NOT McDonalds. Next time I think a 1/2 bird is in order though because the full Freebird (not the Monster) is just more than I can comfortably eat. Gone are the days when I could eat that much. The other bit of good news is the same new shopping center that has Freebirds also has a Firehouse subs. That is on the list for later this week, they make very decent subs, though if it were a Deleware Subshop I would have been describing a steak and cheese to you and expressing my thoughts about the proper way to make one instead of spouting off about burritos.
